There were three of us and we were very close, but did not escape. The selection was perfect as it was in a dorm room setting, and our 23 year old grandson was visiting. Loved the company, they were very friendly and helpful.

4 months ago when I joined ILoveKickboxing I had no idea I would grow to love it so much. The instructors are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to answer any questions and make you feel comfortable from the start. I love that I can go in for one class (1 hour) and get an intense full body workout and have plenty of time to enjoy the rest of my day/night as opposed to spending what seems like endless hours in a gym. Plus the after class endorphin rush is amazing ????. I highly recommend trying it out even if you have zero experience kickboxing like I did.

I have done over 20 escape rooms from Boston, Chicago, San Diego, and Portland, and I had the most fun here at Escape Game Jacksonville. The production quality is a huge part of what makes an escape room fun and this place has SUPER high quality rooms. I can only speak for The Heist and Gold Rush, but I suspect you'll love ANY room they have to offer. Can't wait to go back and do Prison Break!!

Don’t miss out on this museum. Beautiful gardens on the river and free admission Tuesday and Friday from 4-9. Bigger than it seems and switches out some artworks to keep fresh things to look at and learn about. COVID precautions require you to RSVP for a time slot to limit the people in the museum at one time. Also mandatory masks.
